Remarks on branching-extinction evolutionary cycles.

Abstract excerpt

We show in this paper that the evolution of cannibalistic consumer populations can be a never ending story involving alternating levels of polymorphism. More precisely, we show that a monomorphic population can evolve toward high levels of cannibalism until it reaches a so-called branching point, where the population splits into two sub-populations characterized by different, but initially very close,...
